JOHN THOMAS SIEGERT, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

' Letfers Jefent No. 67,598,- dated August 6, 1867 v I HEEL-MEASURE.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN T. SIEGERT, of the city of Washington, and District of Columbia, have invented a new and useful shoemakers tool, which I style a Heel-Measure; and I do hereby declare the following to be an exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification, in which- I Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the measure.

Figure 2, a side view.

The nature of my invention consists in a metalllc rule-or measure, with the inches, from one to five, marked on, and at the end a projecting curved point, and on the rule a spring adjustable slide for the purpose of marking the height and width of a heel or sole of a boot or shoe, and keeping the proper gauge or measure during the making of the heel, so as to make the heel the required size without fail, the point being placediat the top of the heel, and the slide being set to the number of inches required, the workman having the tool or measure beside him, on his bench, so as to useit frequently while shaping the heel.

A represents the metallic plate, about five inches in length and three-fourths of an inch in width, having the measure, from one to five inches, marked on. B is the projecting point at the end of the plate or rule, and is curved. O is the flat slide, that is about one inch square, fitting cioselyto the measure. A flat spring, D, is attached to the inside of the slide, so. as to hold the slide to the measure, and prevent the slide from falling oil when adjusted.

What I claim asmy invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- r The measure A with its curved point B, and its adjustable flat slide 0 with its fiat spring D, when constructed, combined, and ouerated as herein described and for'the purposes set forth.

J. T. SIE'GERT.
